Four Seasons George V Paris Gets Art Deco Upgrade

The fact about Paris is that it shows you different faces depending on where you stay. Some of the best memories you can make in the city are tucked away behind elegant facades just off the famous boulevards, far from busy streets and crowded terraces.

One such address is Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris, an Art Deco landmark overlooking one of the most prestigious areas of the French capital. The historic hotel has just been completely renovated, with new interiors that still retain the character and intimacy that has defined the property for generations.

A Parisian landmark re-invented

Located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of the city’s celebrated Golden Triangle, the Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris is a historic hotel that opened in 1928.

The property has recently undergone its first major renovation since 1991 with redesigned rooms and suites and updated interiors and new French windows allowing for more natural light.

There’s a good deal of work but a good deal of restraint in the renovation. Changes are designed to create a more modern and comfortable environment for today’s travelers while maintaining the hotel’s historic character and not changing its identity.

The result is a very Parisian hotel, but with a new sense of sophistication.

A Private Retreat in the Heart of Paris

The hotel is very well located with easy access to some of the famous sites in the city including Champs Elysees and many historic sights.

But once you’re in the atmosphere feels much more private.

The terrace offers the opportunity to have breakfast away from the bustle of the surrounding streets. The George V experience is this juxtaposition of where the hotel is and the serenity and quiet within.

Guests can retreat to the tranquility at the end of the day but still be within reach of the vibrancy of the city.

Parisian Living Room Inspiration

The rooms and suites have been refurbished following the model of elegant Parisian apartments.

A largely neutral color scheme creates a calm atmosphere, with depth and character added by brocade fabrics, velvet upholstery and carefully selected decorative details.

The design is a mix of classic French chic and modern coziness, and the spaces are luxurious without being too formal.

Also, the bathrooms, in Carrara marble, are large and inviting, the perfect place for guests to relax after a day of sightseeing in Paris.

Hotel Eiffel Tower Views

The property also boasts some of the most sought after accommodation options with stunning views over the Paris skyline.

To name a few, The Penthouse and Parisian Eiffel Suite offer sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower so guests can enjoy one of the city’s most iconic landmarks from the privacy of their abode.

The views are for those who want to take their time in Paris and savor the city without leaving the room.

Eating at the George V

Food remains the heart of the hotel’s identity.

Two Michelin-starred restaurants on the property add a remarkable culinary dimension to the stay.

Dining is the perfect complement to the hotel’s overall philosophy of blending French elegance with modern hospitality, making the property an attractive choice for visitors to Paris as well as hotel guests in search of memorable cuisine.

A Place to Chill

In addition to the rooms and restaurants, the hotel’s spa is another reason to stop off during a busy Paris itinerary.

Guests can enjoy wellness experiences including yoga and massages which offer the chance to reset between meetings, shopping trips, sightseeing and evenings in the city.

Those staying a few days in Paris will find the spa a welcome relief from the buzz of the streets.

Keeping alive the Spirit of George V

“This renovation is an important milestone in the life of the property,” said Thibault Drege, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel George V.

The aim was not only to modernize the accommodation but to create authentic living spaces inspired by the elegance of Parisian apartments, whilst retaining the hotel’s established standards of service.

Perhaps the renovation is in limbo.

The George V has been given a facelift without losing that sense of history that makes it unique. Its Art Deco pedigree, Parisian interiors, fine dining and wellness offering are part of one seamless experience.

A Classic of Paris Revisited

Shows that a historic luxury hotel doesn’t always need to reinvent itself to remain relevant.

Thoughtful design, considered upgrades and attention to detail can allow an established property to move into a new era, while still preserving the qualities that made it special in the first place.

For a luxurious base in central Paris, the newly renovated George V blends Art Deco heritage with contemporary comfort, fine dining, wellness and an enviable address.

The newly upgraded George V fits right in, in a city where timeless elegance reigns.
